IT’S CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAS

As Slade
would say! So. We’re finally at the Christmas break but can I rest and have a
good time? Well, yes I can but I also have an assignment due on the day I come
back which means that University is never far away from me! I will just have to
find the time to finish off my short story while I am gallivanting across
England visiting the best friend, the family, the friends and the Devon family.
The Devon family is just my father’s side, who all reside in farming country!

That’s
right. This awkward city girl is awkward because she’s not from the city!
Believe me, trying to acclimatise to life in London – the big city! – when you've come from a farm background it is so far from easy. It’s been an
experience and one I relish but I will be so happy to run back to my home town,
you have no idea. Not to say that living here hasn't been an experience because
it has. London has so much to offer and Greenwich in particular is a lovely
place to spend my time. It has enough greenery – the park is huge and wonderful
and let’s not forget, it is the sight of HORSES come the Olympic Games! – and
the people are friendly. Plus, it has that biggest added benefit of being the
place where I spend a good portion of my time.

It might
be a challenge to find my place here, I’m still searching and knowing me, I’ll
find it just before I leave, but it’s a challenge that I take head on. As we
swing by into Christmas and in all the festivities and love that I know awaits
me, there will still be that part of me that misses my University, my classes
and Greenwich.

There
will always be a part of me that will
be happy to come back in January. Until then, I will definitely make sure to
enjoy myself and immerse myself in the Christmas Spirit and the love of family
and friends, and will see you on the other side!
